User's notes
Healthy, well flowering, widely spreading mature old tree(s) .
I checked the identification by keying out this individual tree in Wilkins and Whitlock (2011a) and reading again and comparing their description of this species, to this plant and to the descriptions of the similar looking and related species in this scholarly journal article.
Along the Mossman to Cooya Beach road, south side;
this tree between a small creek with its culvert under the road,
and a south direction driveway to a house;
also the area on the other side of the drive way is cane paddock;
this is the first patch of trees after cane paddocks on both sides occurring between here and the South Mossman river bridge;
aka the Bonnie Doon road,
Bonnie Doon, Qld 4873, Au.

Commersonia bartramia (especially compared with Commersonia macrostipulata —both closely related).
Different sized stipules provides the initial diagnostic feature to observe, check and photograph, for distinguishing these two species .
